AS13100_RM13003 - Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

AS13100_RM13003 - Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

Course overview:  


This course replaces AS13003 - Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Practitioner Training for Aerospace.

This course covers the requirements for AS13000 and AESQ Reference Manual RM13003 - Measurement System Analysis. This course outlines the competitive advantages of an effective Measurement System Analysis (MSA) process along with the benefits of reduced costs due to poor measurement.

MSA provides a method enabling organisations to understand the variation present in their measuring systems. This variation can impact both variable and attribute measurement systems. A high level of confidence is required for the measurement of product and process characteristics. Implementation of an effective MSA process forms one of the key foundation activities in support of this goal.


Who should attend:  

This course is designed for Process Design Practitioners, Process Improvement Teams, Implementation Teams, Internal Auditors and others involved in the implementation or auditing of Measurement Systems Analysis.

Certification:  

Upon completion of the course, you will receive an Industry Forum AS13100_RM13003 MSA Practitioners Certificate.

Benefits and Learning Objectives:  

MSA is used when an understanding of measurement system variability is required. MSA studies will decompose measurement system variability into equipment, operator and part variation. It is often mandated by aerospace and other engineering primary manufacturers as a specific requirement on their suppliers to give them confidence in the measurements that are being taken and reported by the supplier.


MSA will support understanding measurement system performance and allow any performance limitations to be actioned appropriately by the organisation.

Delegates will become competent in implementing, undertaking and auditing MSA including studies for variable and attribute data.

Implementation of MSA will support improved customer satisfaction, reduced cost of quality and improved problem solving robustness.
